Louisiana Pedestrian Accidents
In 2008, 89 pedestrians were killed in Louisiana and another 1,085 pedestrians suffered injuries, according to the LSU Highway Safety Research Group. Despite strict laws and traffic regulations aimed at protecting pedestrians, drivers continue to hit and hurt people as they cross the street or walk on the sidewalk.
The pedestrian accident attorneys at Neblett, Beard & Arsenault have devoted the past 25 years to representing injury victims, including pedestrians in Alexandria, Baton Rouge and across the state of Louisiana.

Sadly, we’ve seen that very often, these injuries are completely preventable and occur due to factors such as:
- Speeding
- Alcohol use while driving
- Inattentive motorists
- Failing to yield right of way
- Elderly drivers
Pedestrian injuries are almost always severe; when an unprotected person collides with a vehicle weighing 2,000 pounds or more, serious injury is inevitable and can include:
- Severe head trauma
- Broken bones
- Brain damage
- Leg injuries
- Spinal cord injury
- Paraplegia
- Quadriplegia
- Amputations
- Disfigurement
- Neck and back injuries
